Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Dating Standards Calculator (the "website", "we", or "us"). By using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Who may use the website

You may use the website only if you can form a binding contract with us and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. The website deals with adult dating topics and is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. By using it, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

What the website is

The website provides a free statistical tool that estimates what share of a population matches a set of dating preferences, along with articles and reference pages about the underlying data. It is provided for personal, non-commercial, entertainment and educational use only. It is not a dating service, a matchmaking service, or a source of professional advice.

Permitted use

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access and use the website for your own personal use. You may read our content, use the calculator, and share links to our pages.

Things you agree not to do

To keep the website working for everyone, you agree not to:

• Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could harm the site or its users.
• Scrape, harvest, or bulk-download our content or data without our written permission.
• Copy, resell, or redistribute our content as your own or for commercial gain.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its servers, or any connected system.
• Introduce malware, disrupt the service, or place unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
• Misrepresent the tool or its results as professional, medical, legal, or financial advice.

Intellectual property

The website, including its design, text, graphics, data compilations, and code, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. The trademarks and brand features on the site may not be used without our prior written permission. You may quote short excerpts of our articles with clear attribution and a link back to the original page.

Content you submit

When you send us a message through the contact form, you keep ownership of what you write, but you grant us permission to read, store, and respond to it. You agree not to send unlawful, abusive, or infringing content. We may ignore or delete submissions that break these Terms.

An entertainment tool, not advice

The calculator produces statistical estimates from public datasets. It describes populations, not individuals, and it cannot predict your dating outcomes or tell you anything certain about a specific person. Nothing on the website is relationship, medical, psychological, financial, or legal advice. For decisions that matter, consult a qualified professional.

No guarantee of accuracy or availability

We work to keep our data current and our figures correct, but we do not warrant that the website is accurate, complete, or error-free, or that it will always be available. Datasets can be revised, and estimates can differ from other sources because survey methods and years differ. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time without notice.

Third-party links and advertising

The website may contain links to third-party sites and may display third-party advertising. We do not control those sites or ads, and we are not responsible for their content, products, or privacy practices. Following a link or engaging with an ad is at your own risk, and any dealings you have with third parties are between you and them.

Disclaimer of warranties

The website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, goodwill, or opportunity, arising from your use of or inability to use the website. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greatest extent the law allows. Because you pay nothing to use the site, our total liability to you for any claim is limited accordingly.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, that arise from your misuse of the website or your breach of these Terms.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the website operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree that any dispute will be handled by the competent courts of that jurisdiction, unless mandatory local law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.

Termination

We may limit, suspend, or end your access to the website at any time if you break these Terms or use the site in a way that could harm it or other users. You may stop using the website whenever you like. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and the limitation of liability, will continue to apply after your use ends.

Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the website, you agree that we may use them freely to improve the service without any obligation to you. We appreciate hearing from users, and good suggestions often shape what we build next.

Severability

If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest will remain in full effect, and the unenforceable part will be applied as closely as possible to its original intent.

Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the date shown at the top of this page. Your continued use of the website after a change means you accept the revised Terms.
